Values to live by...

Check out our values at Transformation Church...


A High and Lofty View of God:

We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling power, to teach a high and lofty view of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All our actions, teaching, prayer, mission, and spiritual transformation will be driven by our view of God.


The Transformative Gospel of Grace:

We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling power, to be a community that invites and seeks out the wounded, the broken-hearted and marginalized so that they can be transformed by the Gospel of grace into the image of Jesus joining Him in His mission to transform the world.


We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling power, to the belief that Grace is Jesus Himself coming to live in and through His people. Life in the Kingdom is empowered by the King of Kings, not human effort.


Kingdom Partnerships:

We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling power, to partner with other churches that desire to advance the Kingdom. We will not compete with other churches.


Multi-ethnic & Multi-generational Diversity:

We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling power, to multi-ethnic and multi-generational diversity.


Excellence:

We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling power, to ministry excellence. Ministry excellence is worship! Our systems and structures must function with excellence in order to steward the people of Transformation Church.


Leadership Development:

We are committed, through the Spirit’s enabling Power, to leadership development. The Church rises or falls on the shoulders of Her leaders; therefore, every member must be seen as a “royal priest” and a leader.


People over Production:

We are committed, by the Spirit’s enabling power, to value people for more than what they can produce. We will not prostitute people over and against their spiritual health and transformation.


Servant Community:

We are committed, by the Spirit’s enabling power, to develop a biblical, servant-hearted community, in which we serve each other through our grace-gifts as we serve in our spheres of influence by being the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus.


Relevancy:

We are committed, by the Spirit’s enabling power, to be a missionary community. Therefore, we will present the timeless truth in a relevant way.


Generosity:

We are committed, by the Spirit’s enabling power, to financial generosity. We cannot out give our God; therefore, we will teach and live biblical financial stewardship. One day we hope to give away 30% of our income.
